Ronn Yedidia’s longest time piano student - Chihiro Sato - has returned to her piano regimen after many years of irregular practice, since resettling in Japan back in 1999. For the past few years she has resumed her pursuit of artistic excellence under Dr. Yedidia’s tutelage - both virtually while in Japan as well as in person through short visits to New York City.

Currently, after winning awards in several piano competitions and acquiring some significant performance experience, Chihiro is ready to deliver an entire solo program and will present her debut recital at NYPA on Thursday, March 20, 2025 at 7:00 pm.

Her program will include:
